Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wireless networks rely on fixed identifying information, such as SSIDs, which may not effectively attract users or provide personalized connectivity, leading to suboptimal user engagement and advertising opportunities.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and processor system that detects devices within a predetermined range and receives user or device information to dynamically determine identifying information for the wireless network, allowing for user-specific and context-based naming or description of the network, thereby enhancing user attraction and advertising relevance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed identifying information (SSID) is used for wireless networks, then network identification is simple and stable, but user engagement and advertising effectiveness are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the wireless network identifying information dynamic rather than static. The SSID is generated in real-time based on user profile data, device information, and contextual factors. This allows the network identification to adapt and change according to different users and situations, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and personalization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters used for network identification from fixed system-defined values to variable parameters including user profile attributes, device characteristics, and contextual information. By modifying these identification parameters dynamically, the system achieves personalization while maintaining operational simplicity through automated generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If dynamic identifying information is generated based on user data, then user engagement and advertising relevance increase, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-collecting and organizing user profile data and device information before the network connection process. User profiles are established in advance with relevant attributes, and device characteristics are pre-assessed. This preparation work is done beforehand, so when a connection request occurs, the dynamic SSID generation can proceed efficiently without complex real-time processing, thus increasing user engagement while controlling processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies self-service by automatically generating dynamic identifying information without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously processes user data, device information, and contextual factors to create personalized network identifiers. This automation reduces the perceived complexity for users while maintaining high productivity in terms of user engagement and advertising relevance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of information

If personalized network names are provided, then advertising effectiveness and service attractiveness improve, but information processing and storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadvertising effectivenessVSAvoiddata storage requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring the network identifying information specifically to each user and device context rather than using generic identifiers. The dynamic SSID incorporates locally relevant attributes from user profiles and device information, making the identification highly relevant to the specific connection scenario. This localized approach maximizes advertising effectiveness by delivering personalized content while optimizing data storage by only retaining essential profile attributes needed for identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
